    Remember when Lady Gaga ‘bled’ onstage during her shocking performance at the 2009 VMAs? жесткое русское порно Singing about the perils of fame being dragged out from beneath a fallen chandelier then bleeding to death in front of a roomful of celebrities: Lady Gaga was not shy about making her debut at the MTV Video Music Awards. The year was 2009 — many will remember it as the year rapper Ye formerly Kanye West stage-crashed 19-year-old Taylor Swift and suggested her award for Best Female Video should have gone to Beyonce instead. But never one to be overshadowed Lady Gaga then 23 made some pop culture history of her own that night. Her rendition of “Paparazzi” — lamenting both unrequited love and the sinister effects of hounding tabloids — has gone down in the mists of Gaga legend; not least because a lack of high-quality footage means fans must resort to watching grainy screen-recorded versions circulated on social media. Over the limited number of pixels Gaga can be seen at the start of the performance in an all-white ensemble: a bejeweled asymmetric lace bodysuit and matching cape thigh-high boots a feathered Keko Hainswheeler headpiece and strings of glinting pearls. As she staggered back from her piano at the song’s crescendo however an audible gasp swept the room as thick blood suddenly appeared to be pouring from her abdomen. “I’m your biggest fan I’ll follow you until you love me” Gaga wailed desperately her once-pristine outfit now daubed in scarlet. She ended the number suspended above the stage ‘dead’ as more blood dripped from her eyes. “It gives me chills every time I watch it” Olivia Rodrigo told MTV in 2021. “I think Lady Gaga is the best performer of our generation.” The “Drivers License” singer appeared to take notes. At this year’s Grammy Awards she began to ‘bleed’ from clenched fists while performing her hit “vampire” spreading fake blood across her arms and neck as the song progressed.

    Medical staff on the front line of the battle against mpox in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have told the BBC they are desperate for vaccines to arrive so they can stem the rate of new infections. блэк СЃРїСЂСѓС‚ At a treatment centre in South Kivu province that the BBC visited in the epicentre of the outbreak they say more patients are arriving every day – especially babies – and there is a shortage of essential equipment. СЃРїСЂСѓС‚ onion https://http-blacksprut2rprrt3aoigwh7zftiprzqyqynzz2eiimmwmykw7wkpyad.com Mpox – formerly known as monkeypox – is a highly contagious disease and has killed at least 635 people in DR Congo this year. Even though 200000 vaccines donated by the European Commission were flown into the capital Kinshasa last week they are yet to be transported across this vast country – and it could be several weeks before they reach South Kivu. “Weve learned from social media that the vaccine is already available” Emmanuel Fikiri a nurse working at the clinic that has been turned into a specialist centre to tackle the virus told the BBC. He said this was the first time he had treated patients with mpox and every day he feared catching it and passing it on to his own children – aged seven five and one. “You saw how I touched the patients because thats my job as a nurse. So were asking the government to help us by first giving us the vaccines.” The reason it will take time to transport the vaccines is that they need to be stored at a precise temperature – below freezing – to maintain their potency plus they need to be sent to rural areas of South Kivu like Kamituga Kavumu and Lwiro where the outbreak is rife. The lack of infrastructure and bad roads mean that helicopters could possibly be used to drop some of the vaccines which will further drive up costs in a country that is already struggling financially. At the community clinic Dr Pacifique Karanzo appeared fatigued and downbeat having been rushed off his feet all morning. Although he wore a face shield I could see the sweat running down his face. He said he was saddened to see patients sharing beds. “You will even see that the patients are sleeping on the floor” he told me clearly exasperated. “The only support we have already had is a little medicine for the patients and water. As far as other challenges are concerned theres still no staff motivation.” зеркала блэк СЃРїСЂСѓС‚

    Drought-hit Danube River reveals scuttled German World War II ships смотреть гей порно The wrecks of explosives-laden Nazi ships sunk in the Danube River during World War II have emerged near Serbia’s river port town of Prahovo after a drought in July and August that saw the river’s water level drop. Four vessels dating from before 1950 have also come to light in Hungary’s Danube-Drava National Park near Mohacs where the Danube’s water level stood at only 1.5 meters 4.9 feet on Tuesday the lingering effect of severe heat waves and persistent drought in July and August. The vessels revealed in Prahovo were among hundreds scuttled along the Danube by Nazi Germany’s Black Sea fleet in 1944 as they retreated from advancing Soviet forces destroying the ships themselves. The wrecks can hamper river traffic during low water levels. Strewn across the riverbed some of the ships still have turrets command bridges broken masts and twisted hulls while others lie mostly submerged under sandbanks. Endre Sztellik a guard at the Danube-Drava national park said of one of the ships “we still don’t know what this is exactly. What is visible and an unfortunate fact is that the wreck is diminishing as people are interested in it and parts of it are going missing.” The Danube stood at 1.17 meters 3.8 feet in Budapest on Tuesday which compares with an all-time record low of around 0.4 meters 1.3 feet registered in October 2018. During floods the Danube rises well above 6 meters 19.7 feet. “Eastern Europe is experiencing critical drought conditions that are affecting crops and vegetation” the European climate service Copernicus said on its website in its latest drought report published earlier this month.
